| Senectitude’s Memento, Chris Martin |
cobwebs cluster in arid daybright corners
gauzy sunskein threads
driftsome and tender as nape-sung flesh-whispers
fluxsome as shadow’s slip
senility’s silken grit sifted and diffuse
recalling affairs unsettled
errands unfinished
matters accumulated
confected corollaries yet to pass
sunset wrinkles
eventide’s glow
velveting the advance of twilight
eclipsing the incomplete
dusking evanescent the trappings undusted
spiderwebs stretch across humid moonhazed dreams
gossamer nighttide constellations
lissome and elusive as fossa vein-wisps
fleeting as hoarfrost’s lace
youth’s shimmering mesh latticed and lambent
recalling dew undisturbed
earth-breath unharmed
dampness refulgent
dawnsoft droplets yet to last
sunsquint tears
horizon’s flush
mourning the passage of moonshade
illuminating the intangible
trapping fugitive the dustings undusked
